Referring now to the clrliwinlin in which like characters of reference designate similwr parte. lO designates the curry comb boel; from the lower fece of which the curry comb teeth lll depend, the buck being equipped. with the usual handle l)- for manipulating the comb. i

By referring. especially' to Fig. 2 it will be seen that the opposite enti cflges of each tooth .ll are cnt away to 'form oblonl recesses 13 which tl'zrminzite short ot the working surface ofthe tomn.7 and. entend upwardly to the comb beek.

The se'iiping' member comprises e.. lil-- 'nlity ot hollow ecrn'ning plates el formed. from n single blnnl'. ot elle@ metlil ot the general shape Shown in lF li, the man finiti portions et 'the blank llsigentetl by the numeral l5 being: bent townrrjl euch other whereby' u. snbstzii'atisilly oblong hollow :so 'nping plante is produced. the web iti of which is designed to exteml along the underneath tace of the comb beek. :intl the longitudinal flanges 1T et' which are designed to beer against the comb teeth :incl Se ope nccmnn lzitefl heir anni the like therefrom.

All of the infringing plates :ire connectecl 'together by :i pair et parallel stripe 18 which' :ire substantially square in cross section enti are riveted or otherwise fixed to the top 'feces ol the Jwebs le ot the nlutenwtr the ends thereof :is best shown. in Fig. G. The strips 1S l em'.\\'illiin the recesses 13 in. the end cilg'es ot the curry comb teeth as shown in Fig. 2 nml perform the function of guides tor directing the slirling movements of the Sc wiping member, the member actuating device which will be presently lescribetl being thus relieved of all guiding function.

For actuating the scraping member the two innermost scraping plates nrc provided employed in connection with a loose rhelical spring surrounding these pins foreign matter may be easily dislodged from underneath the pin and thus accumulation 4of "foreign matter positively prevented so that theA proper working ofthe device will be at all times assured.

What is claimed, is

A Curry Comb comprising a back, toothed hars depending from the back, a cleaning plate slidably associated With the bars, a

l5 pair of spaced pins slidable in the back and disposed on opposite sides of the intermediate bar, and havingtheir lower ends fixed to the plate, a single button connecting the upper ends of the pins, and a sin gie eoil spring surrounding both pins and having its upper endengaged with the button and its lower end engaged with the back.

In testimony whereof, we aflix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
